Bollywood star ready for Biopic

Mumbai, May 26: As we know that, Bollywood star Irrfan Khan has been diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor and is going out of the country for treatment.

This news should come as a big relief to legions of Irrfan Khan fans. Director Shoojit Sircar confirmed to media that the actor is responding well to treatment and he believes they can start Udham Singh biopic – starring Irrfan in the lead – by the year-end.

"I've been speaking to both Irrfan and his wife (Sutapa Sikdar), he’s responding well to the treatment and trying to cope with the knowledge that he's battling neuroendocrine tumor by treating the recuperation in Europe like a short and unexpected holiday. I'm planning to visit him next month. We hope to roll by the year-end (the Udham Singh biopic), but will wait till Irrfan is ready to shoot," the filmmaker said.

Other than the Udham Singh biopic, Irrfan is also expected to play the lead role opposite Deepika Padukone in Vishal Bhardwaj’s next. The film's team also decided to postpone the film till Irrfan recuperates.
